This reopened as the Gem theatre on November 8th, 1924. Grand opening ad posted.
This theater opened as the Strand, but was never called the Nu-Strand. When the Nu-Strand Theatre opened on Broad Street in 1925, the original Strand on Main Street became the Gem.
This aerial photo, ca.1916, shows the original Strand/Gem Theatre at center.
This location was also the site of the Strand/Nu-Strand 1925-1935.
Here is an ad from the Kingsport Times on 6/20/37:
